A hospital or sanitarium building may be allowed if the Board finds that it will not create a nuisance because of traffic, noise, or the number of patients or persons cared for; that it will not affect adversely the present character or future development of the surrounding residential community; and if the lot, parcel, or tract of land on which the buildings to be used are located conforms to the following minimum requirements; except that, in the C-2 and C-O zones, the minimum area and frontage requirements do not apply:
(1) Minimum area. Total area, 5 acres.
(2) Minimum frontage. Frontage, 200 feet.
(3) Setback. No portion of a building shall be nearer to the lot line than a distance equal to the height of that portion of the building, where the adjoining or nearest adjacent land is zoned single-family detached residential or is used solely for single-family detached residences, and in all other cases not less than 50 feet from a lot line.
(4) Off-street parking. Off-street parking shall be located so as to achieve a maximum of coordination between the proposed development and the surrounding uses and a maximum of safety, convenience and amenity for the residents of neighboring areas. Parking shall be limited to a minimum in the front yard. Subject to prior board approval, a hospital may charge a reasonable fee for the use of off-street parking. Green area shall be located so as to maximize landscaping features, screening for the residents of neighboring areas and to achieve a general effect of openness.
(5) Commission recommendation. The board or the applicant shall request a recommendation from the commission with respect to a site plan, submitted by the applicant, achieving and conforming to the objectives and requirements of this subsection for off-street parking and green area.
(6) Building height limit. Building height limit, 145 feet.
